scrollstop() firing before reaching the bottom

I have a simple function, I think. I want to detect when the user reaches the bottom of a document when scrolling and if the bottom is reached execute code. Like this:

$(window).on('scrollstop', function(){ var a = $(window).scrollTop(); var b = $(window).innerHeight(); var c = $(document).innerHeight(); if (a == (c - b)) {
morepics();
} });

The problem is instead of firing only when a == bottom, it fires at the first scroll stop. So if I scroll a little and then stop it fires. Can anyone help. --tested on android--

Are you looking for something like this?

jquery.js 
$(window).scroll(function() {
   if($(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height() == $(document).height()) {
       alert("bottom!");
   }
});
